• EASY ENTRY: Durable side zipper for easy on and off and a bellows tongue to keep out debris.

ljmNeeds improvement - One year reviewLike all Merrell products I have used, these are very comfortable. If these were a base model I would rate these boots slightly more favorably, however being that they're are work/tactical boots I expect them to be better. After about 1 week of wearing these boots the water proofing failed. Simply walking through dew covered grass, soaks my feet. After about 2-3 months of wearing these boots, a loud squeak developed in the left boot. The right boot followed suit about a month later with an equally loud squeak. The squeak is so loud that everyone knows I'm coming from 30ft down the hallway. Because of the noise, these can not be considered "tactical.". I can only use these boots for training were nosie and waterproofing is not an issue, indoors in a classroom setting, or just working around the house. I can not recommend these for duty use or anything tactical. After 1 year (about 800-1100 hrs) of light duty wear, both boots squeak, are not waterproof, and the soles have started to separate from several areas on each boot. On the positive side, these boots are easy in/out because of the zipper, the zipper has held strong, the boots are comfortable, the traction is good, and the treads are still prominent. I hope that Merrell has made improvements since I first bought these.

Lucas JComfortable and lightweight I’m on my feet all day inside and outside. It’s pretty cold in the winter where I live ( Colorado) and on days with light snow with wool socks my feet have stayed warm and dry all day long . These boots are not only comfortable but lightweight . So far I’m very happy with my purchase . Thank you Merrell !!!

FredComfortable, easy on/offThese boots are very comfortable and I would not even consider them fully broken in yet so they'll get even better.
And with the side zipper, I can actually get them on and off of my size 12 feet easily.
